A well-stocked first-aid kit can help you respond effectively to common injuries and emergencies. Keep at least one first-aid kit in your home and one in your car. Store your kits someplace easy to get to and out of the reach of young children. Make sure children old enough to understand the purpose of the kits know where they're stored.

You can buy first-aid kits at many drugstores or assemble your own. You may want to tailor your kit based on your activities and needs. A basic first-aid kit includes:

Emergency items

Emergency phone numbers, including contact information for your family doctor and pediatrician, local emergency services, emergency road service providers, and the poison help line, which in the United States is 800-222-1222.

Medical consent forms for each family member

Medical history forms for each family member

Small, waterproof flashlight or headlamp and extra batteries

Waterproof matches

Small notepad and waterproof writing instrument

Emergency space blanket

Cell phone with solar charger

Sunscreen

Insect repellant

Whistle

Give your kit a checkup

Check your first-aid kits regularly to be sure the flashlight batteries work and to replace supplies that have expired or been used up.

But it’s about to get even worse.

Updated: The hacktivist group claiming to be Anonymous is now calling for nationwide Day of Rage protests on Friday, July 15th. This video is NOT on the official Anonymous YouTube channel. The video below promotes the protests.(WARNING: There is some disturbing and graphic violence in this video.)

Milwaukee: 5:00PM (DINEEN PARK, Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

I strongly feel it won’t end with people marching and chanting.

From yet another source, there are absolutely protests coming up. And they’re going to be big.

Jacksonville’s Black Lives Matter protesters and Pastor R.L. Gundy plan to take to the streets this Friday for a demonstration they say will be larger than last weekend’s.

The safest crowd is one that you’re not in. All of these places have the strong potential to become battle zones. Stay home.

And if your home happens to be in or near one of these areas, be aware that your city could be under siege. Make plans to stay safe and hunker down with emergency food and purified water, or to go someplace safer.
